Spin-Texture in Acceptor-Bound Magnetic Polarons
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 26 February 2011
Abstract
We outline a theory of the acceptor-bound magnetic polaron in cubic diluted magnetic semiconductors that exhibits a nonuniform magnetization. Calculations show that the manganese spins have an overall z-alignment, but are canted in an azimuthally symmetric way from that direction. This is new phenomenon we call BMP spin-texture. Spin-texture results from valence band degeneracy, and the important spin-orbit effects associated with it. The possibility of studying BMP spin-texture via neutron scattering is discussed.
